Description: This chef's utility knife is the work of Canadian bladesmith Kelly Dallyn. The maker's mark on Kelly's knives is his family's cattle brand, which has been passed down to his dad by his grandmother. When he started to make knives, he thought he would use something that stood the test of time to mark them. With this brand on his knives and the craftsmanship that he put into them, he knows they will stand the test of time long after he is gone.
This small chef's knife is likely to become one of the primary knives used in your kitchen. At 3-2/3 inches, it is a knife that can used either as a small chef's knife or as a paring knife. Whether chopping onions or mincing garlic, this knife will be a great choice. It is a perfect size for the cook who prefers a smaller, more easy to maneuver chef's knife.
The 360 layer ladder pattern damascus blade is hand forged from alternating layers of 1080 and 15N20 carbon steels. This ensures a keen edge as well as exceptional beauty! A clear differential heat treatment is visible in the blade which results in a long lasting edge with strength and durability from the supportive spine. Because the blade is made from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to oil both the blade and natural wood handle.
Handle scales are elk antler set to a full tang using brass pins. The tops of the pins are textured and carved to match the natural shape of the antler. The scales feature an heirloom fit and are dovetailed to 416 stainless steel bolsters. The handle feels great and has nice balance. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
